"I'm not ready to be like them. I never have, and maybe I never will."
Terry Drummond has lived his life on the shores, seemingly forever behind and abandoned as everyone else has figured out their dreams and gone out to sea long ago. He then seems to find purpose meeting Robin Mossberg, an intelligent, compassionate and funny lady from across the ocean who's willing to give him attention, hope, and the courage she embodies.
But when tragedy strikes the couple, not only is Terry beginning to lose his mind, he realizes maybe there were feelings Robin kept from him. Will Terry manage to recover and find happiness again, or is his entire life destined to be one big stranded tragedy?
Heartbreaking, hilarious and pulling no punches, The Shoreline is an unforgettable story of one man's breakdown as he tries to repair a broken life but doesn't trust himself to do it right.
